Fun with Google Adwords

Technology doesn’t come naturally to me, but I realize that the Internet offers one of the most effective, most targeted and most cost-efficient ways to reach visitors. For about six months, I’ve been buying keywords through Google Adwords for the Columbus Visitors Center. Google Adwords is an online advertising product that allows you to identify keywords that visitors might [...]

The price of Oil...

There was a pretty intense debate several weeks ago about the price of oil and its relationship to the price of a gallon of gas. I mentioned that the value of the Dollar played a significant role in the price of a Barrel of oil and this chart shows exactly that. (Thanks to Andy Horning for posting this chart on his blog) This… Continue

Is America ready for a third party?

Are we at the point where a third political party has viability? Ross Perot ran as an independent in '92 (when he garnered nearly 19% of the popular vote!) and started and ran under the Reform Party banner in '96. Ralph Nader has run as a third party candidate in every election since '92 under the Green Party banner and the Libertarians ran Ron Paul in '88 and have had others run in each election cycle since.

I just got twittered by Dr. Woody Meyers

I woke up this morning to find an email in my inbox from Twitter. For those of you who don't know, Twitter is essentially a "microblog" whose purpose is to answer the question "What are you doing?" For those without the time to sit down and write a long blog post, you can simply Twitter (ex. "I'm blogging about how twitter can be used to reach out to people during an election cycle"). You post your twitter and it will show up on the pages of people who follo… Continue

Property Taxes

I'm sure that property taxes haven't been at the top of anyone's mind lately, but the revised assessments for Marion County were finally released today. My property taxes were set to go up by about 66% back in the fall before the Governor ordered the re-assessment. I just got the amazingly frustrating news that my house assessed for just $200 less than the "bad" assessments that were thrown… Continue

Thanks for asking about the house. We closed last Tuesday and have been doing something about every day since. We are getting estimates for carpet and re-finishing. We have ripped up carpet and tacking in four bedrooms, a hallway and a bathroom (yes, carpeting in a bathroom. . .). Here are some carpet pics if you are interested. We don't move in for another month, but I'm starting to get excited now that the dirty carpet is out and the humidity is down from 75%--much less musty. I will be posting updates at LlamaAndLamb.com.

Man, thanks for commenting on my blog. You give a great example with the tech industry. And I had no idea Lasik wasn't regulated by the FDA.
